For a deeper flavor, marinate the chicken overnight. You can also add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the marinade for a little extra heat. If you don't have a grill, you can cook the chicken in a skillet on the stovetop. Feel free to add other vegetables to the salad, such as bell peppers, cucumbers, or avocados. A sprinkle of toasted nuts, like almonds or pecans, adds a nice crunch to the salad.
